COMPANY PROFILE Trent Technologies A Engineering Research and Development Corporation providing the HVAC Industry and the public with innovative products OUR MISSION The mission of Trent Technologies is to develop, manufacture, and provide products for the HVAC industry, which will reduce maintenance cost, property damage and indoor air contamination caused by HVAC systems.HISTORY Trent Technologies was organized and incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas on April 12, 1993 as an engineering development corporation. Our primary product is the CostGard™ Condensate Drain Seal for draw-through HVAC systems. Production began in August 1993. Other related products are under development. The CostGard™ Condensate Drain Seal is in use in all types of public, commercial and industrial buildings. It is also used in residences that make use of heat pumps and electric furnaces. Its effectiveness and reliability have been successfully demonstrated over a wide range of operating conditions, in most every state in the United States of America. Thousands are in the field. Not one has failed to function properly. PRODUCTS The CostGard™ Condensate Drain Seal makes it possible - for the first time - for engineers to design an HVAC system, which is virtually free of condensate problems caused by the failure prone condensate P-trap. All other system design deficiencies responsible for condensate problems can be eliminated using known design procedures and/or products currently available from other manufactures. The CostGard™ Condensate Drain Seal is available for use with draw-through HVAC systems with cooling capacities of up to 100 tons. COMPANY OPERATION Trent Technologies is an engineering research and development corporation. All products are manufactured to our high quality standards, by carefully selected fabricators. THE MARKET Our primary customers are building owners/users of draw-through HVAC systems, who are seeking to reduce operating cost and improve indoor air quality. The number of HVAC systems that can benefit from use of the CostGard™ Condensate Drain Seal is enormous. Systems now in operation, in this country which need an effective and reliable drain seal are well into the millions. New systems which do not include effective and reliable drain seals, add thousands of units to this number annually. THE PRINCIPALS

Control” for two McGraw-Hill Handbooks: HVAC Systems and Components
Handbook, and HVAC Operations and Maintenance Handbook. He is
also the author of A New Approach to Understanding and Selecting
Personnel, Gateway Press. He has had more than 30 years experience in fluid flow research and development, including pioneering work in the development and application of the geothermal heat pump. He served as Director of Engineering Technology for the McDonnell Douglas Corporation, where among other projects, he directed the design and development of the propulsion system for the F15 fighter aircraft. As an Evaluator for the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), from 1983 to 1989, he visited and evaluated 12 university Mechanical Engineering Programs for academic accreditation. He is a patentee and is listed in Who’s Who in Science and Engineering and Who’s Who in America. Since 1993 he has been the CEO of Trent Technologies, Inc.
Following graduation, Paul spent 10 years with Kraft, Inc. As manager of Kraft Food's Los Angeles Food Service Division, he was responsible for operations, distribution and sales for the west coast, USA. Paul left Kraft to form Printmaster a commercial printing company in Tyler, Texas in 1983. It was at Printmaster that Paul experienced many of the problems created when condensate P-traps are used as seals on drain lines of draw-through HVAC air handlers. He sold Printmaster in 1998 in order to devote all his efforts to the production, marketing and distribution of the CostGard™ Condensate Drain Seal. He was Vice President of Trent Technologies, Inc. from 1993 until August 2001. He is now President of Trent Technologies, Inc.
He is a co-author of chapters on “Condensate Control” for two McGraw-Hill Handbooks: HVAC Systems and Components Handbook, and HVAC Operations and Maintenance Handbook.
